Office Reception Desks and Surfaces

Granite reception desks, conference tables, kitchenette counters and lobby surfaces that give a business a solid, professional first impression.

A reception desk is the first thing a visitor sees, and granite sends a strong message of quality and permanence. The same material also works well on conference tables, kitchenette counters, copy room tops and lobby surfaces. In Nashville, where professional offices range from historic buildings to new towers, stone surfaces are a common choice for companies that want to look established.

Reception projects need coordination with designers, builders and millworkers, because the stone sits on custom bases. We review plans, plan seams and overhangs, confirm cable and power cutouts, and template the base once it is built. We coordinate fabrication and install with the right equipment, including elevator access and protection. We finish with sealing and cleaning guidance. Reception desks are often the signature piece of an office, and they are rarely simple. Many have curves, raised transaction tops, privacy panels and hidden cable runs, and they sit on millwork or metal bases that have to be exact before stone can be ordered. We review the shop drawings with your designer and builder and note anything that could affect the stone, such as unsupported spans, heavy overhangs or tight access. We also plan the route for moving large pieces, including doorways, elevators and floor protection. On installation day, we work with building management so the move happens at a convenient time, and we leave the lobby clean. Afterward, we provide care instructions for your cleaning staff, so the desk keeps looking sharp, and we are available for follow-up if a seam or edge ever needs attention.
